Bride
This crazy kid... Jo is an enthusiastic person; she does nothing by halves and that includes finding love. Jo epitomizes the catch phrase YOLO as seen in her outgoing personality and her love for life. This firecracker has brought excitement to Shaun’s life and has gotten him to live a little on the wild side. She is not only stunning, but hardworking and astute in the pursuit of her goals. Jo’s laughter resonates in any room and no matter your mood, she forces you to crack a smile. Family and friends are everything to her and she goes hard for her loved ones. She is a wonderful big sister, dutiful daughter and loving granddaughter, niece and aunt. She is loyal, and on life’s journey she has acquired several sisters. She met the man of her dreams in Shaun, and is excited for the big day.
Groom
He puts up with her crazy... ...and for that he deserves a medal! Shaun is humble, kind, patient and strong. He balances Jo’s outgoing personality and is often the “voice of reasoning”. Simply put, Shaun is the yin to Jo’s yang. He prides family, hardwork and meaningful connections. Shaun believes in “work hard, play hard” so his love for mojitos helps to brings out his playful side. Even though Shaun is more of a behind the scene kind of guy, don’t be fooled because he has a silly side. His warm personality illuminates his aura and it radiates during his interactions. On this day, the first of the rest of their lives together, you can almost feel his excitement. May God continue to bless him as he guides their union through life.
Matron of Honor
Milo to my crackers... Lori Pori has been my bestfriend since third grade. When life was as simple as competing for the highest class standing and jump rope at lunch. We have moved through life lessons without losing each other and have come out stronger on this side of our friendship. When you think of the people that "knew you when", she knew me before boobs; let that sink in. She has kept me anchored while reminding me of my truest self and my day without her at my side, would be remiss.
Best Man
Mr Calm, cool and collected... Omar and Shaun... #bromance! Omar is a good friend, great father and new inductee to the husband club. He has always been a staunch supporter of our union, and encourages us to seek counsel with the Lord. Omar can enhance the joy in the simplest of things and will celebrate the fruition of any plan. Thank you for standing with us on this day, and as we enter this next stage of our lives.
Bridesmaid
The Owner... Xandria has been my staunchest supporter, and most reliable alibi. If she ever tries to correct me, that's because I really messed up since I can do no wrong in her eyes. She loves as fiercely as she protects and the feeling is oh so mutual. I relish in our endless celebrations, those past and the ones to come. The completion of my circle, with you standing with me on this day is comparable to you in my life... undeniable. Yup yup yup... uh huh!
Groomsman
The Witty One... This affable goofball has an endless supply of one line zingers that he drops at the most opportune moments. He wears his heart on his sleeve and gives as good as he gets. Real tears were shed when Shaun asked him to stand with him (use your imagination as to whose). Sean, the first of his name, slayer of burritos, conquerer of all electronics, and master of the soccer ball... what would we do without you? Looking forward to share our day with you!!!
Bridesmaid
One half of the Drunkie Twins... We have shared a dorm room, a bed, a shower... wait what???!! Daalia and I have been an integral part of each other's life since my freshman year in college, and a chance meeting in the hallway. We have survived finals, vacations, nights we can't remember and each other! Life without her would be a bitter pill to swallow. luckily, the Doc is in the house!!
Groomsman
The littlest (and most miserable) of the bros... Ian has always been the biggest younger brother with an impish grin and quick wit. He has taken his stride as the protector with a master plan, and has apparently been looking forward to this day for a very long time. His original role for the big day was the Ring Boy, but he somehow smooth talked his way up to Groomsman #skills. This day would not be the same without his antics!
Bridesmaid
One half of the Drunkie Twins... Tani has been a permamnent life transplant since freshman year, and it's been a blast! She is always a source of strength and encouragement and is one of the best people to have in your corner. But on her list of accomplishments, is her ability to have fun, laugh openly and love freely. My love, what would my wedding day be without you and your legendary alcohol tolerance? Lucky for me.. I wont find out.
Groomsman
The Hard Worker... How could I not have my brother stand with me on this special day? There was never any doubt. Oliver has been my friend and brother over the years, and we have suported each other through good times and bad. He has never judged me and has been staightforward with me... even when I didn't want to hear it. The best advice he has given me: "You better marry that girl!" I cherish our friendship and look forward to the good times ahead!
